Vehicle Description
This stunning 1968 DANA Hurst Camaro RS/SS is featured in Metallic
Silver with black vinyl top and black nose stripe. The interior is
tan vinyl with hounds-tooth check cloth seats. This car has
undergone a nut and bolt restoration to the most exacting
standards. An original California Black plate car, this Camaro was
purchased at DANA Chevrolet in South Gate, CA. and comes with the
original Protect-O-Plate, restoration photos and paperwork. The
options on this DANA RS/SS 350 included an L48 350ci (295hp) V8,
Off-road Camshaft, Race Heavy Duty Suspension, 6 inch wide Hurst
wheels, Traction Master traction bars, Heavy-Duty radiator,
Four-Speed manual transmission, Standard Chevrolet SS package,
Rally Sport package, Red Stripe tires and a Unique Cowl Plenum air
induction system. Before COPO Yenko Camaro's, there were mighty
Camaro's built in Southern California at a dealership by the name
of DANA Chevrolet. Dealership owner Peyton Cramer, a former Shelby
American employee, and manager Dick Guldstrand, a local West Coast
SCCA hero, were very involved on the racing scene in Southern
California. As racers, they saw the need for special built high
performance cars. Thus came the DANA cars. We purchased this car at
Hollywood Wheels, Mike Flynn Auction at Amelia Island on March
14th, 2015. Consigner was Vincent J. Amato. According to the window
card it states: Full restoration, metallic silver with black nose
stripe, tan vinyl interior, with hounds-tooth cloth inserts,
350ci/295hp V8 with 4 speed transmission, Unique Cowl Plenum Air
Induction, Original Protect-O-Plate, In the DANA registry, and
Photo Documentation. However, we have been unable to substantiate
the claims made by the window card at Hollywood Wheels. We have
since verified that this car was delivered to Harbor Chevrolet Long
Beach California by a NCRS Shipping Report that we purchased. DANA
Chevrolet and Harbor Chevrolet were both in the same area of Los
Angeles, California. We have a Protect-O-Plate from DANA Chevrolet
also, we were unable to document it being on the DANA registry.
With all of this being stated there is a possibility that this car
was a dealer tansfer. This is a great car and has had an impeccable
restoration and the quality and the drive ability is over the top.
The only questions are the lack of ability to substantiate the
claims on the window card from Hollywood Wheels. This car has been
to Reduced from $74,900 to $65,000 FIRM.
